Squash smear cytology and histopathology findings of angiocentric glioma

Abstract

We herein report a case of a 12-year-old girl who presented with a superficial mass in the right temporal lobe and a 7-month history of seizures. Intraoperative consultation with squash smear cytology was done. It showed low-grade glioma with slender, bipolar cells with angiocentric features. The surgical resection specimen revealed features of angiocentric glioma with extensive schwannoma-like areas and typical EMA “dot-like” positivity.
